110 chapter 110
In the locker room, Lagerbeck made his final instructions, Forlan sat in his position and kept adjusting his pants, which had made Ibrahimovic completely ignore the presence of the manager, he grabbed Fran's arm and lifted it, looked at the bloody Daozi on his elbow and took a breath, which looked much more terrifying than on the big screen on the court.
Fran finally let go of his pants and whispered to Eevee, "It's really not that I didn't have a good grasp of the strength, the turf is too hard, although the grip and friction are not good." It's not that I don't have a good balance, but if I hadn't had a wrist brace, I would have suspected that my elbow would have to be shaved off. ”
It's not an exaggeration, his commendable ruthlessness and decisive judgment among defenders ultimately fell on 'top speed'. Fast in start-up speed, fast in reaction speed, whether it is protecting the ball or putting a shovel is one level faster than others, this is always an advantage, but now it has really become a disadvantage.
But at the moment of the game, Fran could no longer prepare knee pads and elbow pads, so he could only continue like this. At least when the Dutch team saw their attitude just now, they should have understood that they had no intention of backing down, and the Orange Shirt's forwards always had to weigh their choices when they passed by.
He's suffered a bit of a skin injury at best, but Fran doesn't trust strikers like Alger and Robin van Persie and doesn't worry about more serious injuries.
Ibrahimovic and Fran walked towards the players' tunnel, and saw Robben standing at the end of the line with his hips twisted, his movements particularly bewitching. Forlan stared at the big bald head, which was even more shiny than during his time at Real Madrid, and thought to himself, who would have thought that a few years ago at Chelsea he would be a handsome boy?
Filming Eevee at the front of the group, Fran leaned over to Robben and chatted. The two teams are not a life-and-death battle, after all, even on the side of Group F, Italy, New Zealand, Paraguay and Slovakia are competing for qualification, Italy has not been in good form in the past two years, and it is difficult to say who will be the team in Group F that Sweden and the Netherlands do not want to meet. When Robben and Forlan had a good relationship at Real Madrid, Robben and Robben, who had a high business partner, did not refuse this friendship. Peter Pan even looked at Fran's elbow and asked with concern, "Is the pitch really bad at this point?"
Fran didn't believe that the Dutch team didn't step on the situation during the warm-up, but he still nodded with a sad face, "No, I've never played such a bad turf." "That's the truth, as for Robben, he was a high-profile talent in the Netherlands when he was a child, and the local tycoon Chelsea who went later would not spare money, let alone top teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. He didn't think Fran was showing off, the two of them were talking nonsense without a match, and it wasn't boring, and the unwavering appearance was like a friendly match, not the first game of the World Cup group stage.
However, this conversation did not continue, and it didn't take long for Robben to have a cold face beside him, and with a big long face, he occasionally whispered a few words to Robben, ignoring Fran, and the scene was extremely embarrassing for a while. Forlan glanced at Van Persie several times, touched his nose and didn't say much, and Huntelaar, who had entered the substitute early, winkled at Forlan and left, again without speaking.
Robben didn't seem to feel the slightest sense of the atmosphere, Spanish and Dutch were freely changing in his mouth, and from time to time he seemed to feel that Fran was not good at silence and handed over a few words, which made Fran feel that it should not be rude. Ibrahimovic stood in front of the team, the unusual height of the striker covered his goalkeeper, he turned around and saw the strange aura of the three people in Fran, and thought that his own side team could deal with it on its own, so he didn't pay much attention.
After all, Sneijder couldn't stand it anymore, so he came over and took Fran a few steps out and became a good man. Robben glanced up slightly at Van Persie, who still read a smile from his stiff face and shook his head helplessly. Sneijder, the good guy on the other side, was not so happy, because Forlan's first words were, "Wesley, do you know who the new manager of Real Madrid is?"
The news of Pellegrini's dismissal has not yet been made public, and although it is basically a sure thing, Forlan's firm use of the word "new manager" still makes Sneijder chuckle in his heart. If it was someone else, Fran would definitely not have mentioned such a sentence to him, then this replacement must have something to do with Sneijder.
Thinking of the only answer, Sneijder felt that he had the better intentions to drag him out of Robben van Persie's honeyed atmosphere than to feed the dogs, but he already knew that Mourinho was infinitely close to Real Madrid after all.
In fact, it is true that Mourinho has already got everything in Italy, and he also dislikes the Italian media attention so much, and leaving Inter Milan may be a matter of course.
Although he should have thought so, Sneijder still felt that the thing in front of him was a damn show-off, rolled his eyes at Fran, and returned to the team on his own.
As the vice-captain, Forlan stood at the top of the lineup, holding the soft meat hand of the little fat caddie next to him, waiting to enter. In fact, Sweden does not have much pressure, even the national team fans themselves say that as long as the group stage is qualified, it is the victory of this year, although Forlan feels that his own level still has a fight, but it has not really reached the point of expecting the championship, only think that if you fight hard and have good luck, you can have a chance to enter the semi-finals.
As a colleague who often interacts with the players of the Spanish national team, he certainly knows that Spain is strong, and it is definitely no coincidence that he won Euro 08.
But thinking so much at the moment is actually unnecessary.
Fran took a deep breath and followed the crowd onto the court. Interestingly, Lagerbeck's pre-match set-up, when everyone thought he knew Robben better, the head coach gave him the task of guarding against Pesci.
Lagerbeck spoke earnestly, of course, if it's convenient, Robben don't look at me like that, help the defense, help the defense. Forlan listened to the manager's words and smiled, then I will stop by the midfield to grab the ball with Van der Vaart and Sneijder, do you think it?
Can you be realistic? He's not sure about one-on-one on this court, and you're whimsical about one defender versus two strikers?
When the game officially started, the players understood that it was one thing to warm up for the test before the game, and it was another thing to wait for the actual game. Forlan didn't intend to give the Dutch a chance to settle in, and was fine when the midfield was slow to turn the ball down, and once Sneijder dribbled into his own half, he immediately stuck to Van Persie.
Van Persie didn't care about the people around him, Arsenal bought and sold people every year, and he has always been the target of the opposition team's defense. Seeing that Robben was caught by the Dutch double for a while, Van Persie immediately ran up and signaled Sneijder to pass the ball. Sneijder, of course, noticed this scene, and although he saw the defender following closely behind his team-mate, he still chose to believe Van Persie and simply passed it to him.
Without waiting for the ball to hit the ground, Forlan and Van Persie rushed to the landing spot at the same time. The experienced striker framed the opponent behind him, successfully seized the opportunity, and half-turned and walked away. Forlan lost the opportunity but was not annoyed, tightly stuck on Van Persie's inside to exert pressure, the two were of equal height, and the attack and defense were particularly fierce, which immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the fans of both sides.
Forlan tried to poke his foot a few times, but Van Persie dribbled and dodled it lightly. But when Van Persie wanted to cut into the penalty area, he was also stuck by Forlan and couldn't change his position. Van Persie has always been a little arrogant, and now he can face up to the Swedish defender, who has been pushed to the position of a so-called top defender by the trend, not just a cute seller.
He became more and more serious, saw a teammate around him who was not answering, and wanted to fight for at least one corner. Van Marwijk had a serious expression and, to be honest, the opening-for-tat didn't quite match the style he was used to. But the scramble between the two continued, and even seeing Forlan temporarily blocking the passing route, the Swedish full-back simply stepped forward to help the defense.
Forlan saw Van Persie's desire to snatch a corner and continued to work hard to push him off the touchline. Van Persie was remarkably calm when he saw that he was about to be surrounded by two men, preferring to see this as a test rather than an attack. And the temptation is not over,
Fran, who landed on the ground only on the forepaws of his feet, quickly turned around, and this action that he was accustomed to was caused by the slippery feet that made him lose his center of gravity for a while. Van Persie immediately seized on the obvious hole, and as Forlan stumbled, he immediately sideways the ball to shake off the defence.
This move made all the orange team members in the stadium excited, and they originally watched the-for-tat between the two and thought that a corner kick was good. Unexpectedly, Van Persie really shook off Forlan's defense, everyone knows the importance of this defensive gate to Sweden, and sure enough, he still doesn't adapt to this artificial grass?
Forlan recovered quickly and picked up again to accelerate towards Robin van Persie, who had already entered the penalty area and faced a filling centre-back. The Dutchman began to cheer for his players, and in the midst of the cacophony of whirring and whirring in the sky, Van Persie and Van Persie looked overwhelming
In the next second, Van Persie's feet slipped, and he subconsciously grabbed a handful of air in the void, barely stabilizing his body and not falling, but still lost control of the football. The ball came off his feet, and Forlan, who was close behind, immediately pocketed the ball to his feet and glanced at Van Persie, who looked helpless.
Yours is yours. Fran thought to himself, looking at the ball at his feet.
Through this offensive and defensive shot, the current situation of the whole game is almost shown. Slipping and falling on the pitch in the early morning rain and the turf being easily shoveled over, the two teams seemed to show off the poor quality of the entire pitch in all aspects.
Forlan was able to see it, and after one or two falls, he gradually adapted to controlling his center of gravity and became one of the few players on the court who was handy. But on the contrary, not everyone can adjust their mood and state very quickly like him, and gradually the originally harmonious court becomes hot.
Looking at Ibrahimovic's black face at halftime, Fran swallowed and held back the teasing.
Oh, the artillery battle is going to be blown up! 166 Reading Network
